Egg whites!
Yeep, you'll be able to heap protein into your pancreatitis diet (to gain weight and build muscle) simply by ingesting a fair amount of NO FAT egg whites!
Don't tell me you forgot about the benefits of egg whites?
Actually there is very little benefit for most people but for those of us who need to watch FAT due to pancreas damage from pancreatitis then a diet for pancreatitis should include egg whites for protein and vitamin B-12 (needed to make blood). So ...
Tomorrow when your buddy asks what you ate for breakfast you can stick your chest out with pride and say "I ain't a dozen eggs (with salt, pepper and garlic powder), 2 slices of whole wheat toast with jam (no butter or margarine) and a pot of hot, black coffee." And you will have ingested around 30 grams of protein and maybe TWO grams of fat (depending on your bread choice).
Pretty cool huh?
There isn't any flavor really to egg whites so I usually fry them (non-stick pan with no oil) and then add them to rice and veggies or just veggies or just eat them with toast (if you can call this gluten free shit I have to eat toast) and coffee as mentioned above.
One CUP of egg white will supply 26 grams of protein. Yeah that's about 9 eggs lol but eggs are cheap and egg white has ZERO fat, ZERO cholesterol and lots of protein! So ...
For those of you who wonder how to get the protein you need while healing I just gave you my secret pancreatitis diet weapon - Egg whites!
